vule; the second small, nearly triangular, oblique, between the first 
and second subcostals ; the third indistinct, very small, between the 
second and third subcostals ; costal nervure margined outwardly with 
black, broadest near the base ; two small oval black spots within the 
cell, one in the middle just below the subcostal nervure, the other at 
the end of the cell; inner margin rich golden-green. Body—thorax 
orange ; legs pale ochreous. 
Hab. Ashautee. 
Near R. ceres, Fabr. (Ashantee); differs from it above in the more 
produced fore wings, and the absence of the submarginal band of 
spots near the outer margin ; beneath, in its paler colouring, the ab- 
sence of the snbmarginal spots of the outer margins, the indistinct 
black dash near the interior margin, the white dots at the outer ter- 
minations of the folds between the nervules, and the two black spots, 
one at the base and the other just above the median nervure within 
the cell. 
5. RoMALEOSOMA GAUSAPE. (Fig. 5, p. 670.) 
Male. Upperside—front wings, apical half, front and hind mar- 
gins broadly black, the nervures tinted with greenish ; lower basal 
half and inner margin broadly golden green; an irregular orange 
band, faintly bordered on its inner side with greenish, crosses the 
wing obliquely from near the anterior margin, at two-thirds of the 
distance from the base, to near the outer margin just before the 
middle. Posterior wings golden green, apical portion inclining to 
cupreous, anal portion bluish green; outer margin broadly blue- 
black, getting paler towards the anal angle, and discovering black 
submarginal spots between the nervules; interior margin fringed 
with rich-chocolate hairs. Body brown ; palpi orange. 
Underside—front wings golden green, apical portion greenish 
ochreous ; interior margin dusky, violaceous near the anal angle ; 
three large spots within the cell; cell closed by an oblique oblong 
black dash ; an oblique row of four black spots crossing the wing 
from the anterior margin, at nearly two-thirds the distance from the 
base, to near the outer margin just below the middle, the lowest spot 
somewhat hastate; a marginal row of eight black spots near the 
outer margin; a small indistinct black spot just below the end of 
the cell; cilia of outer margin brown. Posterior wings ochreous, 
basal half and outer margin greenish ; anterior margin to near the 
apex broadly peach-red ; inner margin broadly orange ; three black 
spots within the cell, placed close to the subcostal nervure, one at 
the base, one in the middle, and one at the end of the cell; a minute 
circular black spot also within the cell and just below the central 
larger spot ; a row of three large spots placed obliquely just beyond 
the cell and beneath the subcostal nervules, meeting a row of three 
minute circular black spots placed obliquely beneath the submedian 
nervules ; a submarginal row of eight black spots near the outer 
margin. Body orange ; legs ochreous. 
Hab. West Africa. 
Allied to R. cyparissa, Cramer (Ashantee) ; but differs from it
